Man jumped in front of 2 train at 42nd Street-Times Square

SPENCER PLATT/GETTY IMAGES

The FDNY responded to a
call at 9:59 a.m. yesterday
after a man was hit by a
northbound 2 train at
42nd Street.
The victim jumped, according to the NYPD. It
was reported that the victim was dead at the scene.
Shortly after, 2 trains
were running on the 5 line
and 3 trains were running
local in both directions
from Chambers to 149th

restored within an hour,
with some delays.
Councilman
James
Vacca called for an emergency hearing to “bring together the appropriate
agencies,” including the
police, MTA and mental
health professionals, to
come up with a “severalprong plan.”
“I think today’s latest

city described. A 16-foot
loft space adds storage and
a closet.
The kitchen boasts a
pantry, full fridge, range
and microwave space.
The units range from
250 to 370 square feet.
The general minimum
for an apartment is 400
feet, but Bloomberg is trying to bring this down to
fewer than 300 feet in
some buildings in hopes
that it will help combat
New York’s limited available housing.

At the event he said
that the city needs more
homes for one- and twoperson households.
“Addressing that housing challenge requires us
to think creatively and beyond our current regulations,” he said.
The winning design
will be used in 55 new
units in an East 27th
Street building, and 40
percent will be for low-income residents. The apartments should be available
by September 2015.

Another shows them

but stressed this has not
“regularly occurred.”

Obama wins
praise abroad
for climate

President Barack Obama
won praise abroad yesterday for his pledge to lead
the fight against climate
change, which has faltered
as nations argue over who
should foot the bill to lower carbon emissions.
Two decades of summits
and resolutions have not
stopped mankind pumping
growing quantities of
greenhouse gases into the
atmosphere, despite a
wealth of evidence that it is
causing more frequent and
devastating
droughts,
storms and floods.
Obama devoted a surprisingly long section of
Monday’s
inauguration
speech to climate change
— more than a minute out
of about 20.

Paris, France

The global economic slowdown has made the
governments of richer nations more reluctant to
invest in technology such as wind or solar power.

“We have got
work to do on
climate change,
and President
Obama was very
forthright about
the need to tackle
climate change.”

He said failure to respond to the threat “would
betray our children and future generations.”
“The path toward sustainable energy sources
will be long and sometimes
difficult.
But
America cannot resist this

Rotten eggs
stench reaches
UK after French
gas leaks
PARIS. A cloud of harmless
gas smelling of sweat and
rotten eggs leaked out of a
chemicals factory in northwest France and wafted
across the English Channel
as far as London yesterday.
The leak occurred on
Monday morning at a
Lubrizol France plant near
Rouen, 120 kilometers (75
miles) northwest of Paris,
and winds blew the invisible gas cloud south over
northern France on
Monday night and then up
into England yesterday.
The fire brigade in the

county of Kent, southeast
of London, warned
residents to keep their
doors and windows closed
due to a gas cloud it
believed had come from
France, and London police
said it had reports of an
acrid smell in southeast
London. REUTERS

Cheese fire
causes traffic

in Norway
OSLO. A truckload of burning cheese has closed a

Some 27 metric tons of

Norwegian delicacy,
blocked off 1.9-mile tunnel
near the northern coastal
town of Narvik when it
caught fire last Thursday.
The fire was finally put out
on Monday.

If you are one of the millions who thought that
Beyonce trumped Kelly
Clarkson’s vocal prowess at
Monday’s
inauguration,
you should know a little secret: Beyonce might have
lip-synced over a recording
of “The Star Spangled
Banner.”
The Internet was abuzz
yesterday with a much-circulated story that a
spokesperson (who has
probably since been fed to
the wolves) from the
Marine Corp Band, which
backed
Beyonce
(Beyonsync? Hackonce?),
said that the singer decided at the “last minute to go
with the prerecorded version.”

This is why I don’t get fashion: Here is a model from

source tells Radar Online.
“To Ryan and Justin, this was
proof of infidelity.”

James Franco was right
about Justin Bieber not being too happy with his lipsyncing home movie of
Bieber’s “Boyfriend,” but it’s

Taylor Swift hurried off to

Styles, according to E! News.
“Once she disembarked, she
was met by a bodyguard
and a driver who took her
straight into central
London,” a source says. “She
is staying at a London hotel.
She seemed excited to be
here. She was heard saying
how pretty London looked
[in the snow].” One
Direction’s Styles is also reportedly in the U.K. at the
moment and has a few days

rep insists the visit is all business and has nothing to do

THE J.M. SMUCKER COMPANY

Listen-up would-be songwriters — and Gavin
DeGraw fans, too. The pop
singer/songwriter is heading up Folgers’ competition for aspiring songwriters to create a new
version of the coffee company’s jingle, “The Best

which nets the winner
$25,000. But don’t expect
DeGraw to add his take on
the tune. He is more of a
mentor.
“My role is to inspire

some point I was also

he says. “This is a great opportunity for someone

“That was my lucky

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to the
movies full time with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Last Standâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Look
out: A new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Conanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; film is in the making

A

HEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S

BACK
Franchise
updates
Part of Schwarzeneggerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
strategy for his return to
Hollywood has been to
dust off the franchises
that made him a star,
like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Conan the
Barbarianâ&#x20AC;? and the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terminatorâ&#x20AC;? series. But
getting these projects
going has proved tricky.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of it is timing, and I
think that I wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve
chosen to do â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Conanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;
already if it had been
ready, but the Universal
studio just bought the
rights to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Conan â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they
have an executive over

there that happens to be
a big believer in bringing
back that character,â&#x20AC;? he
explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That will be
ready by sometime this
year, and the same is also
true with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Triplets,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; a
sequel to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Twins.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ... They
hired the writers and
they are full-blast ahead.
Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a movie that we
will be doing.â&#x20AC;?

rnold Schwarzenegger likes to beat
people to a joke.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
great to be back,â&#x20AC;? he says
with a grin, before anyone
gets a chance to adapt his
famous catchphrase to his
return to movies after an
extended stint running the
state of California. And he
is back, he insists, starring
in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Last Standâ&#x20AC;? as a
small-town sheriff going
up against an army of mercenaries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you remember, when I got into the
governorship in 2003, I
said I only would go and
run the state for the seven
years that were remaining,
then I would be back in
the movie business,â&#x20AC;? he
says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So it was just kind of
stepping out of the movie
business
rather
than
[what] Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m now [doing,
which is] going back to the
movie business.â&#x20AC;?
During
that
time,
though,
movies
have
changed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a harsh lesson for Schwarzenegger,

The offspring of Ozzy hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always had it easy How
quitting drugs and figuring herself out led to her new happiness

K

elly Osbourne is living proof that
willpower is all you
need to turn your
life around. Despite her famous fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infamous
substance abuse problems,
over the past three years
Kelly has kicked her drug
habit and lost a total of 70
pounds. We had to know
her secrets for big change.
After appearing on
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing With The Starsâ&#x20AC;? in
2009, you lost 70 pounds.
Which body part were you
most excited to rediscover?

For me, because of my
familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history with cancer, my mum is always
like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have you checked

Q&A
Which part did you go
from hating to loving?
My legs. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize
how much muscle I had
underneath the fat, and
some pretty toned legs.
And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have cellulite. Now, athletes always come up to me and
say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got great
legs.â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are
you on about? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re
muscly!â&#x20AC;? Men like big
calf muscles on themselves, so when they see
it on a girl they like it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
weird.

your boobs?â&#x20AC;? One day, I
was doing a breast self-examination and found this
lump. So I went to the doctor and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kelly,
thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your rib!â&#x20AC;? I was like,
â&#x20AC;&#x153;OMG, I have a rib!â&#x20AC;?
What was it like doing a
U-turn on your life?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the hardest thing in
the world to look at yourself in the mirror and realize you need to fix
something. Once you have
that realization, actually
taking the steps in fixing it
is horrible. It makes you
feel so vulnerable.
So it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a physical
change for you?

The mental change happened, then the physical.

On Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MS
How did you react when
you found out your
younger brother, Jack,
had multiple sclerosis?
Are you crazy? Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my
baby brother, how do you
think I reacted? He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
want to be treated like a
sick person, because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
not sick. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a
death sentence.
Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a

very military state of mind,
so he looks after himself,
eats very healthy and
works out every day.
Did it aďŹ&#x20AC;ect the way you
value life?
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dealt with my mom almost dying of cancer, my
dad almost dying in a bike

brother has MS. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
nothing they can tell
me I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deal

It makes me feel really sad
that I let myself get like
that. I made myself that

Scared of what?

[I was scared] of myself and

Horoscope
Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19.
You won’t have to be told that
duties that require your
immediate attention should
be given top priority.
Sweeping them under the rug
wouldn’t give you any peace.
Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. A
convivial atmosphere will
help immensely if there is
some kind of business matter
that needs to be discussed
with others. Find a pleasant,
social setting in which to talk
things out.
Aries March 21-April 19.
Because you’re usually such
an upbeat person, merely
going along with things could
make you look as if you’re
down in the dumps. You
won’t be — you’ll just be in a
quiet mood.

Taurus April 20-May 20.
Listen attentively to someone
who always has something
new to share. If you retain
what you hear, chances are
you’ll later find some effective
ways to put it to use.
Gemini May 21-June 20. It’ll
pay to focus on endeavors
that could enhance your
material security. There are
likely to be several
constructive steps you can
take if you’re willing to take
action.
Cancer June 21-July 22. It’s
OK to spend some time on
the advancement of one of
your primary interests, even if
you have to break plans with
another.
Leo July 23-Aug. 22. The best
way to achieve a critical
objective is to keep a low
profile. You need to pursue
your intentions as

unobtrusively as possible.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22.
Because friends will sense
your concern for them is
genuine, they’ll appreciate
your efforts on their behalf.
Sincerity is the key to a
harmonious relationship.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 23. An
objective that you couldn’t
achieve in the past looks like
it can be attained, mostly
because this time you’re likely
to be more flexible and
tenacious.
Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22.
You’re likely to find out that
some knowledge you recently
acquired can benefit a close
friend as much as it does you.
Be sure to share it openly and
honestly.
Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21.
Your instincts regarding a
commercial matter are likely
to be a shade sharper than

usual. Follow your impulses,
but be sure to use plenty of
logic as well.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19.
Try to avoid an acquaintance
who always takes it upon him
or herself to make decisions
for everybody. You’re not
likely to have too much
patience for this kind of
behavior. BERNICE BEDE OSOL

The right to
bear arms is to
protect US, not
yourself?

Having just read Drew
Bates’ letter, I was elated.
Finally a citizen who took
the time to read the
Constitution. Wake up
people, we are slowly losing our rights due to fear.
Maybe we should all go
back to reading George
Orwell’s “Animal Farm,”
because it shows what
happens when we forget
our rights and don’t speak

RE: “THE SECOND
AMENDMENT NOT A
PEACEFUL ONE” (METRO,
JAN. 21) Thank you for

printing Drew Bates’ letter
regarding the Second
Amendment. I’ve been
wondering why no one
bothered reading the
Second Amendment.
It always seemed to me
“the right to bear arms”
referred to defending the
country, not defending
one’s life and personal
property. I hope everybody
reads this letter.

Dear America: E

A historic day in American
history has occurred again
with the inauguration of
President Barack Obama.
This now has happened on
Martin Luther King Jr. Day,
who fought hard for civil
rights and gave his life for
that cause. Remember also
Abraham Lincoln’s
Emancipation
Proclamation that set the
stage for an AfricanAmerican to become president. But now Obama
must attempt to unite
Democrats and
Republicans in a common
cause for the good of the
American people. For remember a house divided
against itself, that house
cannot stand. So let it not
be said years from now
that America was once a
great nation but lost its
way. FREDERICK R. BEDELL

It is exhausting to listen to
people that think the
Second Amendment was
put forth so people can
rise against the

Washington invited people to shoot him?
Ridiculous. The Second
Amendment allowed for a

Washington could call into

threatened. Today, that

Felton nears return at point guard position Knicks in need
of captain at helm of offense Plans to make return vs. Sixers

ANDREW D. BERNSTEIN/NBAE/GETTY IMAGES

The Knicks are well aware
of the troubles plaguing
the last six weeks as
they’ve been without point
guard Raymond Felton.
Felton gave the Knicks
some good news, however,
when he acknowledged
he’s shooting for a return
Saturday
night
in
Philadelphia.
“Trust me, we’ll be glad
when Raymond comes
back, [because] when
everyone has to adjust on
the fly and leaving me to
run the point, try to make
things happen and try to
get things going for myself
— along with everybody
else — it can be tiring at

Ellington and a firstround pick to
Cleveland for Jon
